Chumash Classes: Behaalotecha

Introduction, G-d tells Moshe to speak to Aaron that he should light the Menorah.(Ch. 8 verses 1 & 2)

Continuing with how Aaron lit the Menorah. Torah tells us that the Menorah was beaten out of one block of gold. G-d then instructs Moshe to induct the Levites into the service of the Mishkan and the priest. He instructs that they must be purified before they could begin their service. (Ch. 8 verses 2 - 9)

The conclusion of the induction service of the Levites. (Ch. 8 verses 10 - 26)

The origin of Pesach Sheni and its laws. (Ch. 9 verses 1 - 11)

continuation of the Pesach Sheni ritual. The description of how the Jews in the desert traveled and camped. (Ch. 9 verses 12 - 23)

The two verses that begin and end with an inverted NUN. Ch. 11, begins with the complainers that were burnt, and continues with the people complaining and demanding meat. (Ch. 10 verses 35 & 36, Ch. 11 verses 1 -4)

The people complain to Moshe that they want meat. This demand angered G-d and was evil in Moshe's eyes. Moshe becomes so frustrated with the nation and his position that he asks G-d To Kill Him. (Ch. 11 verses 5 - 15)

Moshe is told by G-d to gather 70 elders to help him to lead the people. The people are told that they would have meat for a full month and that it would become loathsome to them. Eldad and Medad though they do not appear at the tent of meeting since they feel themselves unworthy to be chosen as an elder, are chosen by G-d directly. (ch. 11 verses 16 - 26)
